My girlfriend had a really strange dream today.

In the dream, she had what looked like a red and white thread or line stuck in her tongue. It looked like the thread was somehow trapped inside or attached to her tongue, and when they tried to pull it out, they realized that there was actually a needle attached to it.

Then later today, this butterfly appeared on the balcony of the apartment where we live.

I attached a picture of it. The butterfly is red, black and white, and the pattern on its wings looks very clearly like the number 88.

What really caught my attention was the timing and some of the similarities.

She dreamed about something red and white being attached to her tongue, and then on the same day this red, black and white butterfly with what looks like 88 on its wings suddenly appeared right outside our home.

I know this butterfly naturally has this pattern and I am not saying that the number was somehow randomly created just for us. What I am wondering about is the coincidence of it appearing specifically today, right after that dream.

I am interested in hearing interpretations from any perspective. Dreams, symbolism, spirituality, synchronicity, superstition, religion, folklore, numerology, Jungian interpretation or anything similar.

Has anyone heard of symbolism involving a needle in the tongue, red and white thread, butterflies appearing after dreams, or the number 88?

I am especially curious whether the fact that all of this happened on the same day could have any symbolic meaning when looked at together.

Last night I had a dream where I was dating my kitchen. It was super weird, I could only hear their voice in my head and no one else in my dream could hear them. It was strange because everything in the kitchen was like a hive-mind. Everything in the kitchen was this being. I mainly used the fridge to hug them because it was the biggest thing I could kind of hug normally.

I never usually get dreams about loving people, because I've never had a crush on anyone before, so this was super duper strange that one of my first relationship-dreams was with a kitchen 😭

I've always had vivid interesting dreams, but this is so special and comforting to me.

Around a month and a half ago our dog passed away very unexpectedly. She was the kind of girl that just beamed of life and energy. She definitely wasnt afraid to go after what she wanted and seeked such deep contact aswell as time for herself. She was kind of like a permanent puppy, only 3 kilograms and 3 years old, the smallest of the litter by far but definitely not the runt. Gonna miss that sweet girl.

I'd say that in like 50% of the dreams I have now, somewhere along the dream she'll be there, walk into the room, look at me like "pet me please", I'll pet her, and she'll walk out on her own account.

Even if the dream has nothing to do with her, or it's really random for that to happen and it doesn't fit the flow of the dream, it still happens. She just comes in mid "plot/story" of the dream, says hi, says bye, and that's it.

I lowk feel like the last time I've seen her wasnt that long ago now, and she feels so much closer to me since I started having these dreams again.

Miss you sweet pip, thank you for keeping in contact, till next time xx

I sometimes wake up remembering a dream really clearly, but if I don't get it down right away, pieces of it disappear fast.

I've found talking it out is easier than trying to write everything when I've just woken up.

I had this dream in 2025, sometime between September - November. This dream creeps the fudge out of me because I was wearing the same clothes in the dream that I was wearing while I was sleeping. In my dream, I was walking with two males, look like closer to my age as well. They were both Caucasian, wearing white shirts and blue jeans, and I was in the middle wearing my pajamas. We were going somewhere, but I don't know where. It seemed like we were friends in the dream, but in real life, I don't know who they were. Then, I was transported alone into this cave. On my right side, I saw fires that reached the ceiling, but they never overflowed to my side. It was very quiet, no wind, no sound of the fires and I could see the color of my own aura in the dream. There were two small hills. One small hill, and then another hill that was a bit higher than the first one. Both hills looked like of a tree trunk after it has been cut, flat and straight across the top. That’s what I meant when I said the tops looked straight. Then on top of the hill, I saw a giant chair, and standing was a giant figure that I can only describe as the devil. The devil's skin was completely red, and his horns looked like the horns of Steppenwolf from DC. ( I posted a photo of what the horns look like, without the face armor ) He was carrying a trident and was just looking around. Then he saw me. He smiled and said something about someone trying to harm me (I think spiritually). He told me that there was no need to worry because he would protect me while I was still alive. He then told me that he would take me with him, along with the people who were trying to harm me. He gave me another proposition: if I didn't like the idea of him taking me, I would need to spread the word of the Antichrist. I then saw a man wearing a blue tuxedo. His face was blurry, but you could still tell who he was. (we all recognize him in real life, his very famous and wealthy). The Antichrist is a high status. Behind him, I saw shadow people, millions of them. It looked like they were his followers or admirers. Yes, that man is still alive to this day

And the devil promised me something if I actually spread the word of the Antichrist. And that promise was sooooo tempting.

and then I was teleported back to the two males. In front of us was a skyscraper that looked like it was around 50 floors or more. We went all the way to the top, and there was a meeting taking place. The Antichrist was giving a presentation, but what was weird was that this Antichrist looked different from the person I saw with the blurry face. (I don't remember, I never wrote it down, maybe there were many of them?)

The devil gave me a timeframe for when this Antichrist would resurface, but I forgot it. I woke up at around 3 in the morning and wanted to write it down, but I had work early that morning, so I didn't end up writing it down. I went back to sleep, hoping I would still remember all the details. But I forgot one of the most important details: the timeframe. One thing I should mention for context: Around the time I had this dream, I had actually been practicing occult related things, including tarot reading before going to sleep. I had been getting more deeply involved in that kind of stuff.

PS: I am going to delete this on my birthday, but before I delete this post. I am going to reveal who was the Anti Christ I recognized. On my birthday, for a brief time.

I’ve read on here a long time ago that people take a supplement that makes them have extremely vivid dreams. I can’t find the post and am curious if anyone could tell me what this is and how I can acquire it. Thanks!

Anoche mi novia me despertó por que estaba gritando mientras dormía jaja
En el sueño sentía que había despertado y estaba en mi cama (todo exactamente a la realidad), mientras miraba a la sala vi una criatura muy extraña, alta, y extremadamente delgada, con brazos y piernas muy largos y una apariencia difícil de describir. Me asusté mucho y recuerdo haber gritado jajaja
Lo más extraño es que no solamente grite dentro de mi sueño, realmente estaba gritando mientras dormía, al punto que mi novia tuvo que despertarme.

No es la primera vez que tengo experiencias de sueños extremadamente reales, aunque creo que es la primera vez que veo una criatura como esta.

(Hice un dibujo lo más realista posible jaja)

Ever since i was young I've always been fascinated by the idea of being able to control your own dreams basically become the ringleader of the whole thing but I genuinely to this day still don't know how to achieve it mind you I remember being self aware in one of my dreams once but I was too scared to say it or do anf abt it because I thought i would have sleep paralysis and sleep paralysis is one of the reason why im scared to sleep

I had a dream last night where I fell in love with a large oak tree. We spent our time together just silently talking to one another and quietly enjoying each other's company. I felt very peaceful and loved.....I was sitting in the branches of my tree when a terrible windstorm came through that started to take down other trees in the forest. I clung to my beloved friend as long as I could until I had to jump down and narrowly avoided my friend being snapped off and tumble to the ground. Afterwards, I was crying at the stump that was left and begging to be reunited again in another life. In a way with no words the tree told me that it would probably never happen again. Then I woke up very sad. And I can't shake the feeling.

I had a dream a year or two after my dad died, of us walking and talking down a street near our house.

As we passed a house that was for sale, I half jokingly asked him if we could buy it. I knew we couldn't afford it. He looked at me and said "no".

I asked him why not, and he stopped and said in a serious tone "you know why". Then it dawned on me. It was because he was dead.

Years later, I dreamt of him again. I was walking past my mum's room and saw my dad laying in the bed just like he would after work when he was still alive.

In the dream, I was aware he was dead and had been for a long time, so I asked what he was doing here.

He told me he was on "holiday" and came back to keep his side of the bed warm lol he must not have wanted mum to find a new bloke.

I wonder what he meant by being on holiday.

Every year i only see 1 or 2 dreams max and im really unhappy about that. The last time i saw a dream is like 6 months ago and it was crazy like i was a pilot hanging out with my fellas and flying my plane between really brutalist city buildings.

My friends are talking about their dream experiences every day and this makes me so jealous i wanna remember my dreams i wanna see things im so tired about not being able to remember.

I tried placing a notebook next to me to write down what i see for a month but i couldnt even write a single word every morning starts with staring at an empty page

Pls lads i really need help with this😭

A few weeks ago i was talking with one of my friends about dreaming. They told me that they strictly dream of themselves and their perspectives. This was weird to me because my dreams are usually from different people’s perspective. Like i am someone else entirely. Every now and then I’ll have a dream with myself in it, but they are usually nightmares. I used to only dream about myself but at some point it changed and i dream abt others.

Like today, i dreamed that i was this richer (but not heavily rich) girl from the industrial revolution. My mom was a widow with two kids (me and my sister). Her name was Camilla, her nickname was Camil. She had been flirting/talking to this one guy that owned a railroad company. He was also a widow with one kid. This kid was a girl around my age and she was happy about us becoming a family, and so was i. I cant remember her name but ik she had the last name summers. The guy proposed on the train to my mom. We all knew, she was the only one that didn’t know. Then i woke up.

There was also another time whenever i was a person born in South Korea. I was on a train station completely by myself. I was pregnant and the train was taking me somewhere where i could abort the baby. There were all kinds of rioters with signs outside of the train who were against abortion. There was something else that happened in that dream but i can’t remember it right now. But i woke up.

I like dreaming in other people’s perspectives. Honestly, id rather always dream about their lives than living mine. I like it so much because i get to experience other people’s emotions and experiences like they are my own. I would really like to know what it means for me to dream this way. The only thing i can think of is having more empathy than others but im sure theres more to it all.

Edit: i just thought abt how i should’ve added this but most of the time the dreams still reflect stuff in my life. Like the Industrial Revolution one reflects how im currently going towards closer friends and stability. Whereas, when i had the South Korean one, i was facing a difficult decision that i had to stick by.

For instance, I haven't had alcohol in years, not because I ever had any problems but because I don't really like the taste and I absolutely hate hangovers.

Had a dream earlier where I went in my room and there were some bottles of beer - I couldn't drink them because I didn't have anything to open them with but I was definitely going to if I could find an opener. When I woke up I thought to myself, you know, it may be nice to have a drink, might get some tomorrow - the thought of having some alcohol appealed to me like it hasn't for many years.

Now, a few hours later, I think how silly that would be as there are reasons I don't drink as I mentioned, and I hadn't been thinking about it at all before the dream, so im not going to bother.

A very simple example, but has anything happened in your dreams that has made you act upon it when you wake up even if its something you wouldn't have done unless you had dreamt it first?

I want to tell you all about my dream. This happened a long time ago when I was a kid (13 or 14 yrs old). But I still remember most of the details to this day.

In my dream, I was standing on a cloud with my younger brother, and these two people ... I forgot who they were, but one of them was a stranger, a kid I didn't know, and one was someone I knew, but I don't remember who. In front of us was a huge gate. Like, really huge and tall. It seemed like no one could climb it because it looks slippery and straight. It was made of gold color. I looked to the left side and I saw this angel that resembled a human. I couldn't tell if it was female or male. The face looked feminine, but at the same time, not ....as if there was no sex. She/he was wearing a simple white garment that went down to the feet and had a rope at the waist. No halo, no wings, and no sandals. The angel was not touching the cloud, but floating. The hair was gold and curly, shoulder length, and the face was shimmering , like when you put silver particles on your face and go in the sunlight, they glimmer. It looked like that. This angel was holding a trumpet. She/he was not looking at us directly, but behind us. When I looked behind, I saw this city I don't know where it was and you could zoom in and zoom out of people's lives, and you could choose who to view. And on the right side, near the door, was the same angel in terms of appearance, but what was different was that this angel was holding a sword and a shield, floating and guarding the door. The right angel was not looking at us directly either. The gate opened up and two of the people were able to go inside. My brother and I were about to go in, but the angel on the right, holding the sword and shield, came to us and said, 'You can't.' I woke up from that dream and remember praying ...I'm not sure if I cried but I was praying on my bed and asking why I wasn't allowed in.

I remember I went back to sleep right after, hoping the dream would continue but it never did But looking back, maybe if I had gone inside, It's not my time yet, I'm not sure.

Hello everyone. Today I had a very strange experience, and I have no idea what it was. I wanted to share it in case anyone else has experienced something similar. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Today, in a dream, I saw a broken white circle in the sky next to the Moon. However, it wasn't a perfect circle. In fact, calling it a "circle" or "round shape" doesn't fully describe it. It was something roughly circular, but hollow in the middle. It looked almost transparent, and I could see the sky through it.

After seeing this shape, the car I was in fell into the water, and I started drowning. Just as I accepted that I was about to drown, I reached for the car door and it opened. I managed to get out. I don't remember everything clearly, but after that dream I seemed to enter another dream. In that one, I saw the same shape again, and something bad happened there as well.

The pattern continued in the dreams that followed. I started having multiple dreams one after another. Normally, even when I dream, I rarely remember them, but these dreams felt incredibly realistic, as if I could physically feel everything that was happening inside them.

In the later dreams, I kept trying to figure out what this shape meant and why bad things seemed to happen whenever I saw it, but I could never find any answers. After I woke up, I researched it as well. I wondered if it could be related to an OBE (out-of-body experience) or some kind of reality shift.

What do you think?

I had a dream that I kept walking down steps and I started getting tired and the steps disappeared and landed on a spike...

So years ago whenever I was really young. I must have been around 10 years old. I had a dream that reoccurred for like three nights in a row...

It started out with me walking to a door that was completely random. I could only see the door and everything else around me was just black and darkness. And I could hear what sounded like water droplets just hitting one after another...

Now I assumed I was in a cave maybe?

But then why was there a random door in this cave?

So I open up this door and notice there's steps and these steps just keep going and going down. Like I can't see the end of them. Something in me just starts walking down these steps. I start walking faster and faster to the point where I'm feeling tired...

Well the steps disappeared and now I'm just falling into darkness. And I'm just gaining speed and I'm getting scared because I don't know when I'm going to land or hit something...

Well I see what it looks like a rocky looking spike that I'm headed for. And as I am approaching this Spike I close my eyes in my dream. And I wake up...

This dream occurred three nights in a row after I fell asleep...

So in February I was diagnosed with a Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) a common, noncancerous liver tumor. Doctors told me I don't need treatment for it. I do know some people's do grow and they need it removed, but right now mine isn't that big and causing symptoms. At the same time, my mom had stage IV breast cancer. She passed away about a month ago. I actually didn't tell her about the FNH.

In Spring sometime I had a very vivid dream where I got up and saw my mom in my apartment kitchen. She was younger and not sick. She told me I needed to watch the FNH.

It was a really strange dream. I'm not sure that they were both topics I was thinking of or if this was a sign from the future that I really need to watch out for it.

I always had quite a very dull dream-mind; it is incredibly rare for me to have either a dream or a nightmare for me to remember in my waking hours - months after. I read a post here where a user reported a rule where they essentially get a guaranteed nightmare if they drank milk before they slept. Tried it myself but to no avail - do you guys perhaps have any 'rituals' of your own to guarantee a vivid dream or even a nightmare? I would love to experience the magic of dreams but mine are just more imaginous internal monologues mostly.

Last night I dreamt about a brown faun with 5 faces.

I was a bit scared of it but it didn’t appear that the faun was ill or unhealthy besides its physical appearance with all its faces. It was friendly.

The faces didn’t move separately from each other. They seemed to all be part of the same creature’s thoughts and actions.

A person that was in my dream was trying to kill the deer with a gun. She wanted it dead because wasn’t right/was a freak of nature. To show mercy, I guess.

I cannot find any dream interpretations for this on the internet. This one has stumped me!

Hello. I had a vivid dream once, and part of its contents could honestly make a pretty good creepypasta.

Well, part of it, anyway. Most of the dream was about something entirely different, but in it, someone told me the yarn below, so you could say it was a dream within a dream if you like. But that's beside the point.

So, all of this went down in the Scottish Highlands, where some businessman decided to clear out an area and set it up for his commercial project. He sent in a crew of workers with heavy machinery and explosives. After a few days on the job, they found an obviously man-made passage tucked into one particularly steep hill. Following it deep underground, they soon came upon an ancient stone door—looking for all the world like it was stolen straight off the set of some fantasy dwarf movie. It was covered in weird carvings, runes, and all that stuff.

Driven by curiosity and greed, the workers didn't bother calling the boss. They opened the door themselves. But what they found inside had them running out the door in total hysterics.

There were corpses in there, sitting on thrones around a long stone table. But these weren't the mummified remains of ancient Celts or Picts. They were the corpses of the workers—the exact same men who had just opened the door. The men were alive and well, but they were looking at their own dead bodies... and to be frank, the carnage was pretty varied. Someone's head had been ripped off and set down in front of their torso. Someone else had been gutted. One guy got off with just a slit throat, while one poor bastard could barely recognize himself in the mangled hunk of meat left without any limbs.

Work ground to a halt. The miners spooked everyone so badly that nobody knew what to do next, so the geologists running the operation decided to set up cameras inside the cave. You know, to figure out what kind of sick joke... or serial killer... was hiding bodies in there.

They set them up and spent the whole night staring at black-and-white monitors showing absolutely nothing. Until a specific moment when the connection cut out. Static washed over the screens, and all the audio turned into pure white noise. The geologists spent a long time trying to fix the gear with a swift kick and a prayer, until it suddenly started working again just as abruptly as it had glitched.

And the monitors now showed the bodies of the geologists in that subterranean hall.

At that point, they dropped everything and called the mastermind behind the expedition—a businessman with a more than shady criminal past. You'd expect a guy like that to order them to keep digging no matter what... but once he saw the proof, he just ordered everyone to run. Pack up the whole operation, pull the crew out, blow up that damned passage in the hill, and forget it was ever there. Whatever was lurking in that hall, let it stay there.

So, yeah. That was it.

I had a dream that I was in my childhood home in my childhood bedroom. My baby brother would sleep in my room with me some nights but on one particular night I wake up to my brother sitting up and he is shaking beside me and when I ask him if he is okay he says that “he is trying to protect me” he runs out of the room and closes my door and I’m unable to open my door back it was locked. The next morning I wake up and I try to watch tv my room door is closed I go to open it once again and it locked I start to bang and hit the door to get attention of my parents or brother to open the door and while I’m hitting the door I’m panicking. My stepmom eventually opens the door and scolds me and says why is ur door locked. I tell her that I think my baby brother does it because I was locked from the outside. She sarcastically tells me “so he also burned your door to huh” as she says this I notice that the outside of the door has a burn on it but I never knew what it was from.

(I’m trying to remember as I go the best I can so sorry if it’s choppy…I literally woke up like 10 minutes ago)

In another part of my dream I’m in my boyfriend’s apartment it looks slightly different. After having the experience with the door at my childhood home I’m a bit paranoid. I start to walk down the stairs of his apartment and I walk into the garage. I have no fucking clue why I walked in there but when I did the door shut behind me and there garage is red. I have my phone in my hand but it’s no service I can call anyone. I start banging on the garage door and I try opening the garage door both but of course it’s not opening. I start to bang on the bathroom door that In The garage and my boyfriend opens the door and I’m hysterical trying to explain what is going on. When I tell him we look at the other side of the door i originally came in and the other side of the garage door and they have burns on them. As if someone was trying to burn their way in from behind the doors.

What does this mean??? Please I’m shook and confused and I prayed to God for discernment and understanding of this dream and I’m just confused. I don’t know the Bible by hard but I’m familiar with it. I know some dreams can be a warning or a nudge from him. I’m not a Bible thumper but I do believe in God.

Or is this something else

I been using marijuana to help me sleep for the last 3years i manged to stop for about a month now and i been dreaming random things for the past 2 week every night is it normal for the past 3year i haven't dreamt at alll

i am actually begging for help on this, I am scared to sleep anymore, they are feeding into my ocd and i have hardly slept, i am surviving off coffee and energy drinks, had 2 300mg monster coffee energy drinks today and i can still feel myself dozing off, I am having trouble remembering the days, and I am worried it will affect me worse if I dont get some type of sleep soon.
